John Richard, son of William and Emily Ballentine, was born near Berryville, Highland county, 0., June 27th, 1862, and died at his home in New Lexington, August 6th, 1898. Aged 36 years, 1 month and 17 days. He was married to Miss Lottie Templin, March 11th, 1888. To them was born one son, Ralph, who is left to be a mother's comfort in her life of loneliness and sorrow. He was an affectionate husband and devoted father, kind and considerate in his family and clung to life for the sake of his wife and child. Though his sickness was protracted and painful, he hoped and trusted that something would be done that would prolong his days and enable him to provide for his loved ones. But when be was sure that all earthly help was of no avail, he expressed himself at different times as being entirely ready to meet his God; feeling that through his infinite mercy and love, he would be able to conquer his last foe, and reach the heaven of eternal rest above. He leaves five sisters and four brothers to mourn the, loss of one for whom they cheerfully rendered every possible, loving service which could add to his comfort and cheer his long, weary days of suffering; and with the devoted wife can surely feel that everything that earthly friends could do for a dear one was done.
